Being a child of the space race era, my ultimate dream was to see a launch. Being from a poor background this remained a dream. In 2005 I saved enough to take myself and my "wife to be" to Orlando and booked a VIP seat for a shuttle launch. It was delayed so I missed it. We watched it from International Drive. I had booked a meal and couldn't attend the rearranged launch - such is love.
That said, I have booked Orlando yet again. There is a launch of an Atlas rocket at 4am. I am armed with many cameras and am just about to book a hotel at Cocoa Beach. Does anyone have any experience of minor rocket launches? Can anyone shed light onto best practices?
I shall not be booking a meal this time, we are now married and my poor wife feels guilty that I missed my dream. I have to say - I would still book that meal
